Don't use the Asian cosmetic clinic, I did, promise a sigmoid 3 when I woke and the surgeon came the next day I asked about depth and dilation. He said it's just cosmetic no depth. He then walked out no explination I had pressure sores only one follow up to take stitches out. Not a happy customer. Just saying
What’s the surgeons name, and why did you pick them?
When did you have surgery?
Was there any explanation as to what happened?
Have they offered anything to fix it?
Have you filed any official complaints or taken legal action?
Edit: I hope she doesn’t mind me saying this, but I notice that this is by a trans women who has a much more established account on another site. Given that, I find it a lot more credible than would normally be for a new account with no history. The history is elsewhere.
Dr Tanongsak Panyawirunroj, I had the operation of last October 2019. I complained but nothing was done, I looked at feed back over about 2 years but due to my age, 65 and previous heart attack this was the only option. When I arrived even though I had provided health reports including a cardiology report from my consultant, 2 psychiatric reports, Gp referral, full blood report, I had to have two days of checks including chest xray, and a full cardiology exam, all came back clear and the cardiology report suggested my heart was in a better condition than a person 15 years younger than I am. Regarding legal action no I haven't, ass the money would be better spent on a revision surgery.
I’m confused... when’d they tell you it was the only option? If they told you prior to surgery, then the only basis for a complaint is if there was no reasonable way to cancel the surgery. If they told you after, then when? What’d the exchange look like? You make it sound like they just changed the procedure mid-surgery and walked away, which I mean... benefit of the doubt and all, but you gotta walk us through it. What happened?
The ‘only option’ could be referring to the choice of doctor rather than the type of surgery. It’s not overly clear.
I find this hard to believe
You asked no questions before hand? The doc the casually strolls in and tells you “zero depth” and walks away? This sounds sketchy
due to my age and heart this was my only option
Okay so why are you complaining?
I'm skeptical. OP's account is only 21 hours old, and they've made an identical post in a couple subs with little or no interaction or follow-ups.
It’s not that I don’t believe that this happened, it’s just that the story seems like it has more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese and the entire post is useless without backstory.
It reads more like a Yelp review. I can kind of believe they're new to Reddit but yeah, holy.
There’s a comment higher up that says this person in well known in the community on other websites, so they probably created a reddit account solely to spread the warning about this surgeon.
That edit wasn't there when I posted, but fair enough.
You’re a really terrible person why bother saying shitty things when you could just be quiet instead.🤫

Rule 1.
- Be respectful to others, including identity and choices in surgery. Be polite and engage in civil discourse.
There is no need to bring their post history into this discussion.
I care about the post on the thread that’s it. Siding with the abusive user I responded to is truly a supremely crappy move. It’s stuff like this that makes it impossible for me to take it seriously when people say there’s a “community” amongst trans people. Y’all just want abusers using silver tongues to get their way. A+++
I’m not replying to you, but to the person who’s comment I removed.
Prior to the surgery all was good, I had to provide reports and a biography including bloods scans and cardiology report plus two psychological reports, when I arrived I had to have everything done again. I went into the theatre and again discussed the operation and confirmed the op was a sigmoid 3. When he came to see me afterwards he just turned around and left. Over the next 3 weeks I tried to talk to him about what happened but didn't get any response. The after care was the nurse took photos and sent them to him. I had no contact with him, I was issued a flight clearance from the clinic and sent on my way. I have sent a number of emails to the clinic but no reply. They are happy to take the money the feed back is all positive but from experience don't go to the Asian cosmetic clinic.
Smh what does post history have to do with anything? Op I'm so sorry this happened to you
I had SRS approx 7 weeks ago in Asia cosmetic clinic and have never had as much care in my life and would have no hesitation recommending this Doctor. He is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and delighted with my surgery. The staff are amazing and couldn’t do enough and since I’ve been home they have been the ones who have kept in touch . Many thanks again Dr tonasak to you and your wonderful staff .
I seen 2 posts about this surgery and each said "flew over from scotland" two diff accounts.
Seems suspicious that you two said exactly the same thing.
Now 4 months post op from Asia cosmetic clinic and all going nicely. I don’t know why the previous poster wasn’t happy but I’d recommend Dr Tonangsak in an instance. Such a delightful man and hope to pay them a visit to say hello in march when I visit Bangkok. I’m going to say I would trust Dr Tanongsak with my life .
